ART T8 Eight Channel Transformer Isolated Audio Interface
“In practice the T8 sounded surprisingly transparent, and the only very very subtle difference that I could detect was that the bass end actually seemed slightly more solid via the T8! I find it remarkable that such a low-cost transformer-isolation system can work so effectively while retaining a commendably high degree of audio transparency."
The T8 Transformer / Isolator provides eight channels with high-performance transformers to reduce hum and ground loop noise, separating the input and output signal grounds for total isolation between two systems.
The transformers are wound for 1:1 unity gain, and have an extremely flat and wide frequency response. Even at high signal levels, they provide clean, transparent sound.
Each channel features XLR, 1/4" TRS, and RCA connectors for all inputs and outputs. The steel enclosure has reversible rack ears, and the passive design doesn't require external power. Flexible and easy to integrate, the T8 is built for years of reliable use.
